Rule Details tab on Underwriting Rule screen

The Rule Details tab has the following fields. Some of these fields correspond to properties on the UWIssueType object.

Field

Description

Name

Specify a name for the issue type. The name identifies the rule in the user interface.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.Name property.

Code

Identify the issue type. The code must be unique among all rules.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.Code property.

Checking Set

Specify when to check for existence or absence of an underwriting rule. The evaluator classes further enforce which jobs check for that rule. In some cases, PolicyCenter uses this value to filter rules for display in the user interface. For checking set values, see Checking sets and blocking points for underwriting issues.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.CheckingSet property.

Blocking Point

Specify the point at which this issue blocks progress of a job. For blocking point values, see Checking sets and blocking points for underwriting issues.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.BlockingPoint property.

Default Duration

Specify the default duration on new approvals. Use this property to indicate when an approval will expire. For duration values, see Approvals of underwriting issues.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.DefaultDurationType property.

Enabled

Specify whether the rule will run in the current environment. Values are:

  • Yes – Rule runs in this environment.
  • No – Rule will not run regardless of environment.

Last Edited

The user name and date on the last edit.

Global Version ID

A version identifier generated by PolicyCenter that identifies a rule.

A rule can be edited over time and produce multiple versions. All versions of that rule have the same identifier. You can use the identifier to determine whether two versions of a rule, maybe even on different servers, are versions of the same rule.

Description

Specify a description of the rule.

Corresponds to the UWIssueType.Description property.

Start Date

The start date is compared to the current date to determine whether or not the underwriting rule is in force. This functionality is implemented in the UWRuleApplicabilityCriteriaFilter.gs class.

End Date

The end date is compared to the current date to determine whether or not the underwriting rule is in force. This functionality is implemented in the UWRuleApplicabilityCriteriaFilter.gs class.

Applies to section

In the Applies to tab you can specify which policy lines, jurisdictions, and policy transactions the rule applies to. You also specify effective start and end dates for the rule. If you specify no dates, the rule is in effect.

You can specify that the rule applies to all policy transactions. Or you can select from a limited list of policy transaction types: Issuance, Policy Change, Renewal, Rewrite (includes Rewrite New Account), and Submission. If you do not want the rule to be restricted by policy transaction type, then select All.
